Mary Ann Simpson - Hayes/Hays

She first married William Hayes or Hays and they had one daughter, Irene Lillian Hayes (1865-1913). She married John Wesley Cordray in 1883 in Sabine County, TX. They had four sons, John McNeal (should have been McNeil, probably)whose dates are 1884-1953; Calvin Yancy (1886-1957); Albert Alfonza (1888-1982)and William Ellis (1890-1981). John Wesley was killed in a farm accident in 1891. In 1901 she married J. E. Robinson. After Mr. Hayes left the picture (death or divorce unknown), Mary Ann married Joseph E. Bickley in Sabine County, Texas in 1878. I have their original handwritten marriage license. She had two children by Bickley; a daughter named Mildred and a son whose name I cannot recall at the moment. You can check the Cordray family on Ancestry.com . John Wesley Cordray, 1941 to date. I was a school teacher for 28 years and county judge of Panola County for 12 years.
